What homey said - a 60mm forstner will make the neatest hole cut to exact size. Ideally clamp the workpiece down on a pillar drill and set the drill to a very low speed, gently does it. If the...

Maybe that'll teach him not to nail his colours to a mast that was already underwater??

That design language could catch on - won't be long before the Veritas Big-Arsed Infill Plane is on the market !

:D A Very Cunning Plan...I approve.

Just be careful you don't make your design too swoopy and aerodynamic. I used to own one of these -

536985

but it was so streamlined it was impossible to...

It really needs to have a low drag coefficient (Cd). I'd suggest some initial modelling in clay and wind tunnel testing to refine the final shape :D

(that'll keep him busy for a few days...)

Seeing the state of the wood you started out with, I didn't rate your chances.........but looking at your latest post it's starting to look like I was wrong !

Taking shape nicely :2tsup:

A very good listen - thanks for putting up the link Bob.

I don't need one of these, but just checked out the new price for this model out of curiosity - high enough to make me fall off my chair :oo:

This one is an absolute bargain !!

Re. making more solar panels here, I'm not sure how they propose to overcome the massive difference in labour costs between here and China? Possibly through massive automation/robotics, but that...

"Only used once on the way to church by female owner (non-smoker)" ???? :D

Summary: "I Wouldn't Do That If I Were You", which also happens to be our family motto from our coat of arms (a pair of crossed thumbs on a white background, rampant and bleeding, with a nail through...

Ahhh yes, fond memories of the old country (UK), where the "vanilla" police can only blow a whistle, wave a baton, and shout "STOP !! - or I'll shout STOP again".....sigh

As long as the crims only shoot each other, that's fine with me. Good riddance I say. The problem is they are such bad shots and spray so many bullets around that sometimes innocents get caught up in...

Great stuff - watched the plane and dovetail videos on FaceTube this rainy afternoon. Interesting how keen he was on Japanese tools, both chisels and saws.

As for that monster "jointer" plane,...

I was reading an update on the cost blowouts, delays, etc. with Snowy 2.0 a couple of days ago - and that's mainly just digging holes !! I don't rate our chances of being able to build a nuclear...

Luckily Dutton's pro-nookular arguments are likely to blow up in his face long before we ever build anything than can blow up more seriously. He clearly subscribes to the Trump model of ignoring any...

..the least painful decision anyway :rolleyes:

Whenever they have it, buy up Aldi 2" double-sided tape. Sticks like :oo: to the proverbial blanket, and you really have to be careful not to use too much !

As soon as I saw the word "plan" in your post......my heart sank :(

So do I - which is why I left the low speed sound generator on my BYD enabled. Ironically, in a recent OTA software update, BYD made it possible for users to turn the pedestrian warning sound...

I won't be really happy until I can have this:

It would be fairly easy to implement on a phone app, playing on internal car speakers via Android...

Checkout the first few minutes of this:

It even has simulated paddle gear changes...even though the car itself has no gearbox, just a reduction gear.

Sporty Hyundai 5N EV pipes simulated engine sounds into the cabin, but also does 0-100 in 3.8 seconds :oo:

There is no compulsory reuqirement for low speed pedestrian warning sound in Australia...

Thanks for the post and photos - that's pretty much what my timber looks like unsanded. It looks as though the striking contrast of blackheart sassafras doesn't last; the whites go yellow, and it...

Interested in this, as I'm looking for a finish for hall tables I have planned for some nice blackheart sassafras which I've acquired. I've noticed that the very light portions (almost white) fade to...

Nice work there. The small table is quite a funky design :2tsup:

Over the years, I've had 2 kitchens installed with engineered stone benchtops. Original house was built by rather a shonky builder, and I remember the benchtops being cut on-site for fitting. Lots of...

I've done the same for my JET TS. One for each of the blades I use; my combo blade requires a different splitter to my dedicated ripping blade. Splitters are made of timber, so can easily be sanded...

Mine looks almost identical, except 30uF not 35uF. Same arrangement of leads and thread on the bottom though. Ebay should have it, if not the same one you have from Timbecon would probably do the job.

Yes, but getting the old one out on Basato 4 is a bit fiddly. It needs to be a capacitor with flying lead connection rather than tabs, plus a section of thread on the bottom to secure it to the...

Coincidentally, my ancient Basato 4 bandsaw just did the same thing today. Hummmmm, blade moved slowly but wouldn't pick up speed, then it tripped breaker in powerboard due to drawing too much juice....

Speaking of silica, I used to be keen on Brushbox (I like the colour), for which the best jointer/thicknesser is definitely "Someone Else's" :D

The stuff absolutely flogs blades.

Sorry to report that some cattle can definitely sense the electric field around a fence that is live. When we first built about 20 years ago we had cattle on the property and put up electric fence...

I was going to suggest goats rather than sheep to keep foliage and weeds down on solar farms, but (a) I've seen how high they can jump - you'd find them on top of the solar panels, and (b) any even...

Exactly. Nuclear doesn't stack up financially even today, and stands even less chance of doing so many years into the future when any plants that started construction even right now would come...

CSIRO finds renewable energy cheaper than nuclear, coal and other fossil fuels

As if nookular ever made sense......

It came from that place in the UK that used to be the most reliable source of Triton bits (during a period that they weren't supported properly by Carbatec here, or anyone else). This was all a few...

If it is the speed controller (and I hope it isn't, for your sake) just be aware that the replacement part is still exactly the same design as the original dud which experienced a high level of...

That's very thoughtful of you - well done, sir. :2tsup:

It all turned to custard when US Postal Service finally sussed out that the more overseas parcels they moved, the more money they lost.......and adjusted their pricing accordingly :(

Your tardis may be a let down in one essential respect...."Hey, it's smaller on the inside !" :oo:

Unless you work in more than 3 dimensions, of course.....:D

Not sure if things have changed (again), but for a while it was cheapest to buy and ship from the UK? I used to buy Veritas direct from Lee Valley years ago, putting together one decent-sized order...

Certainly the better long term approach. There's no getting around the fact that if calories consumed exceeds calories burned, you may eventually lose sight of your feet. These "shakes" and things...

vs. the original Man Shake.....:D

Who do they think they're kidding? Surely most people have noticed this by now? Can't front the cameras without at least 2-3 noddies in support....lol

Hey - where's my Very Fast Train??? And my personal jetpack, come to that????
